Invisible tape
on January 1, 2026
Posted by: InvisibleTape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tape worked great and came in handy for Christmas present wrapping as well as birthday present wrapping. I tend to use always use more tape than I need to when wrapping gifts but found myself able to use minimal and still feel like the paper was secure. I used a standard ball point pen to write on the tape just to test and it did write easily with no visible smudging. The tape dispenser worked seamlessly as well with being able to rip a piece of tape as needed very easily. Great tape and dispenser all around.

Great Stick Too Slick
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: HolidayWrapper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a chance to try the Staples Invisible Tape Refill (3/4" x 36 yds) during the holiday season when there was much gift wrapping to do. I had hoped the write-on surface would help me keep track of similarly shaped packages between wrapping & labeling, but found the surface too slick to hold any of think ink from the pens I tried to use to write on it. The tape sticks like glue and I'll continue to happily use it even though I cannot figure out how to make the most of the write-on feature. This tape also tears easily on my tape dispenser and was part of an efficient gift-wrapping season, 2025!

Invisible Tape Refill 24pk
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: DeeC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This matte tape is okay. There's nothing exceptional about it or nothing really bad about it. You can write on it, but it does rub off a little. I used it to wrap a gift, and it sticks as well as other tapes I've used. I usually use shiny tape finishes, so I never really noticed if there were lines left on the tape, but this one does leave visible lines on the tape when dispensing from the roll (pictured). Not much of a big deal, but it may be distracting if you are using it for photos. Overall, I give it 3 stars, it works, but I've experienced better.

Excellent tape for present wrapping
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: Lpcolorado
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape was a lifesaver for holiday wrapping. Easy to use, perfect amount of stick, clean look when applied. I love the easy writing surface, I ran out of labels when wrapping and was able to use the tape instead! It worked out perfectly and looked great! I would definitely recommend and will be buying this tape again in the future.

Easy to write on clear tape
on January 1, 2026
Posted by: Nymomof2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I needed extra tape, the 24pk of invisible tape was great. The tape itself was as clear as I've used before and fit right into my personal tape dispenser. It was nice to write on for labeling, no smearing or coming off. I knocked off 1 star because it needed a bit more to stay stuck to a few surfaces (primarily bubble wrap). It's a great tape for smaller projects and labeling purposes.

Write on Tape
on January 2, 2026
Posted by: JasonS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankfully, I got this tape just before Christmas so I could use it to wrap presents. I found it a little difficult to tear straight and my wife had hard time getting the tape to rip off the dispenser. I also used some to label leftover containers, but the write-on part didn’t work as well as I hoped. I used a Sharpie pen, which didn’t show up very well. The regular thick Sharpie marker showed up better. It’s decent tape for general purposes, just wish it could be easier to write on.

Flex use invisible tape
on January 1, 2026
Posted by: SmartConsumer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The invisible tape does a great job holding, and I appreciate how seamlessly it blends into the surface it’s used on. It’s easy to tear, and as a bonus, you can write on the tape to use it as a label. I didn’t think I’d need so many rolls, but my kids love using it for crafts and projects, so we are going through it fast. Great value for this purpose!

Good idea but tape quality and removal were disap
on January 5, 2026
Posted by: DKA81
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mainly used this tape for gift wrapping and labeling, and while the idea of a write-on surface sounds useful, the actual performance didn’t meet my expectations.
The tape is very thin, which made it prone to tangling and tearing, especially when pulling off longer pieces. I also ran into issues after labeling when trying to remove the tape. It was difficult to peel cleanly and often tore instead of lifting smoothly. In a few cases, removal caused light scratching or surface damage, which was unexpected for a product meant for labeling.
Writing results depended on the pen used. Sharpie worked well, but gel ink smudged easily, and ballpoint pen also smeared. Because of this, the write-on feature didn’t feel more convenient than using regular tape.
Adhesion was fair but inconsistent. When used on gift wrap, the tape popped loose in spots, making it unreliable for wrapping presents.
Pros:
• Sharpie writes clearly on the surface
• Clean, simple appearance
• Works for very short-term or low-stakes labeling
• Sharpie writes clearly on the surface
• Clean, simple appearance
• Works for very short-term or low-stakes labeling
Cons:
• Very thin and tears easily
• Difficult to remove cleanly after labeling
• Can scratch or damage surfaces during removal
• Smudges with gel and ballpoint pens
• Adhesion not strong enough for gift wrapping
• Very thin and tears easily
• Difficult to remove cleanly after labeling
• Can scratch or damage surfaces during removal
• Smudges with gel and ballpoint pens
• Adhesion not strong enough for gift wrapping
Overall, this tape may be fine for quick, temporary labeling, but between the tearing, smudging, and difficult removal, it didn’t outperform standard tape for me and isn’t something I would repurchase.
